Which answer best analyses form?

Correct answer: Highlight, middle value and shadow make the fruit appear volumetric.

Direct answer: A is correct. In art, form means an object shown as having three-dimensional volume, not merely a flat outline. To analyse a fruit, look at how light changes across its surface. The highlight is the lightest area and shows where the light source strikes most strongly. The middle value is the gradual area between light and dark, helping the surface turn smoothly. The shadow is the darker area away from the light; it makes the fruit look rounded and solid. Together, these value changes make the viewer feel that the fruit occupies space. B is only a vague judgement and gives no visual evidence. C names a colour but does not explain volume, light or three-dimensional appearance. D describes the paper, which is the support, not the form of the fruit. A useful warning is that a shape is flat, while form suggests volume; shading often helps a shape become form.
